1921-32 Babe Ruth World Series Home Run Games Ticket Stub
Complete RunDisplay with Autograph. A blast to deep
right field in the bottom of the ninth broke a one-one tie in the
third game of the 1964 World Series, giving the Yankees a walk-off
victory over the St. Louis Cardinals and earning Mickey Mantle sole
ownership of the Fall Classic home run title. The man from whom he
claimed the throne is honored here in the only known complete
assembly of ticket stubs for Babe Ruth's fifteen World Series
homers. Remarkably, the Babe compiled the impressive tally in just
nine separate games of action, which are represented as
follows:

Particularly notable entries include the 1921 stub, with known
examples counted on a single hand with fingers to spare. The 1923
representations are nearly as scarce. We also note that the first
Championship clinchers for the Yankees (1923) and Cardinals (1926)
franchises are counted among the stubs offered, as is Ruth's fabled
"Called Shot," the final stub in the grouping. The second (1927)
and third (1928) Yankee Championship clinchers are here too. The
slabbed tickets are professionally framed with a marvelous 11x14"
modern print of a classic photograph and a 9/10 pencil autograph on
a white album page. An earlier offering of this ticket run,
unframed and lacking a Ruth autograph, commanded $77,675 in August
2013. Framed dimensions 30x30". Full LOA from PSA/DNA
